Change and thoughts on life’s river

A friend just posted this to her Facebook page and I feel a real affinity for it:

How can we direct our river? Not well. We can’t direct a river, but we can navigate it using it’s inherent power to guide ourselves. We can avoid dangers we see, learn from experience to avoid shallows and submerged limbs and rocks.
